This is awesome I agree.
Trust me people you'd much rather have to buy some memory for a few bucks, then a $300 graphics card, or even worse, a whole new motherboard.
Regardless this is good news for most I think. 11 gigs is alot of space, hard to imagine a game that big.
Jey! Finally a use for all that harddisk space that I'm not using :p.
Mild requirements, as they promised. I'm happy, although I might upgrade anyway to see all the fine details better.
11GB would be max used during install.
It's not uncommon for game installs to require much more space for install than actual space used after install.
These are min specs ie running with most options at minimums & I wouldn't want to try running RTW on a PC with that specs...
I'd like to see their Recommended spec for M2TW but I'm pretty sure I'll be just fine.
Hoom touched on my next thought.
Oookey, so if these are the Minimum Specs...what are the recommended specs??
I personally think when they publish the recommended specs, then a few people will see their toe nails curl. :inquisitive:
I'd say;
2Ghz processor
1Gig ram
256mb Graphics card.
As for HD space...well, they could make it 50 gig and it wouldn't make much difference.
Hell, 200 gig hards drives are less than 150 bucks.
Well I have 300GB so 11GB is nothing, my budget graphics card is the only problem, but on Low Graphics it should run fine.
if i have 64 mb that also doesnt support Vertex Shader and Video HW Transform & Lighting do you think i can play it? i dont care ill put 800x600 res, i just need to play it!
im scared.
Ereven!
Oh well, I'll have to delete like the twenty odd MODs I have for RTW.
As already stated, I would much prefer the recommended specs along side the min. Guess I'll have to wait though.
i still have 121 GB so space is certainly not a prob.
If it doesn't support vertex shaders or hardware T&L then no, I think it won't work full stop, not even on very low settings. The minimum req. is a shader-capable card you see... :no:Quote:

well i have shader v2 and i have played many games that dont require T&L and Vertex Shader so any more thoughts?
Will my NViDia (tell me how the cap goes) graphic card flow with M2TW right?
Which Nvidia card do you have?Quote:

Shit. 11GB per install. Thats alot of space especially considering us modders will definitly be having multiple installs. I know harddrives are relatively cheap but damn. Thats like 4 times the size of RTW and i thought that took up a pretty substantial amount of space.
Hmmmm. The impact on unit sizes is my main concern. Hard drives spaces is waaaaaay down the list.
In comparison with RTW, these specs require 50 percent more processing power, twice the memory and four times the graphics power.

Well, i can run on med settings, maybe a little high settings but 11 gigs that is the biggest game i ever seen:dizzy2: :inquisitive: Holy ****
Na, I think a default sized unit size would be good enough for me.Quote:

I am curious just what price range graphics card I'll need to see it at level I see in the game play movies. O well if nothing else a new video card when christmas comes if i save :idea2:
Well for me it would mean a new PC. I could probably get away with a new graphics card, and I need a new HDD anyway, but I have no doubt I'd be running the game on the lowest detail, smallest units etc, so it's not worth it. No M2TW for me for the forseeable future, but I sort of guessed that anyway.
Hmm. My comp is about at those specs, and almost two years old. I think we'll need something nastier.Quote:

to get 30fps on a 1280x1024 screen with Max settings and no AA i reckon a 7600GT would be fine.
Dont play a lot of games, huh?Quote:

Now This is OT but lately there has been alot of this, not just from you, but from alot of new Orgahs and it reminds me of the way the .com has turned out. Perhaps we could all just remind ourselves that not everyone wishes to start cyber posting wars. So perhaps you could think about that next time yoy feel the urge to go out of you're way and put someone down, howver overt you belive it to be I can still pick up on it.

Anyone know how you can check how fast your DVD-player is ??
I have looked everywhere but see no speed.
It is usualy on the label on top of the drive. If not look for a model number and try googling that. Most DVD drives are between 12 or 16 speed, unless you bought it years ago then it may be an 8 speed (slowest DVD drive I've encountered).
Well that's a definately new computer then! Whilst my processor and RAM are sufficient I lack a capable graphic card and HDD space (...and that's after deleting loads of Porn recently!).
If I've got to spend £100+ GBP on a new graphic card and another £60-£100 on more HDD space I may as well spend another £100 on a fully new PC.
....hmmmm...now how much credit do I have on my flexible friend?
If I can't play this game at 1600x1200 with maxed setting I'm not gonna be happy. I've just upgraded in time for this one and I'm not one to turn the settings down ;) I like to play a game as the designers intended for maximum impact :D
You think an FX-55, X1900XT and 2Gb of RAM will do it, or am I gonna have to go CrossFire? :dizzy2:
